MMProducts make very good boats , they work for MHZ, Hydromarine and other brands. I bought a MMP Rapide, this hull is the same size than MHZ Fountain, all hardware, motor, etc . fit perfectly in the new hull. The Rapide is a very nice Outerlimits style This hull is very well made Here is a picture with the 2 hulls

@ srislash The MMP Rapid have a killer look and the hatch is larger, easier for access
@ megalops rudders come from ebay promise hobby I choosed this model because it' s possible to reverse one rudder for a symetric mount. Inlet water is high enough if they need to be cut

So is that a MMP Rapid next to an MHZ Racemaster? And is the MHZ Racemaster actually made by MMP or are you saying they do the exact same hull, but they don't supply MHZ's Racemaster? I'm interested to know because they Racemaster I have is beautifully made, I don't see the sense in paying the middle man if MMP made it.

Also do you know if they do custom layups like carbon etc at an extra cost?

Some models are made by MMProducts in Tchécoslovaquie for MHZ , Hydromarine, Center Lorenz and other brands

Now they sell their own boats on the MMProducts website, english version is online. Those hulls are very good quality nice finish and they are strong , they do custom layups carbon-kevlar, carbon. The white RAPID version is available only with carbon-kevlar , I asked for this white Rapid hull fiberglass made, no problem and cheaper

Here is the english link http://www.mmproducts.cz/products/models/

Here is the hull with its hardware, this boat don' t need flaps and turnfins. The motor is a CC1717 1580kV the Speedmaster strut from OSE is perfect with twin rudders and motor mount is made by Hervé http://www.mini-meca-rc.fr/ . Flexshaft is a Prestwich Model boats, I hope it' s strong enough This hull is awesome http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/640/waouw.gif http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/640/waouw.gif http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/640/waouw.gif
